The expenses of the prisonhave been decreased by more than$19,000, while conditions foi the inmates have been greatly improved.The asylum for the insane, the industrial school and public buildingsare covered, and it is stated that thePioneers' home will soon be openedArizona takes pride in her publicschool system. The report of thegovernor shows that at the University, Normal scboois, and the Highschools and Grammar schools in thevarious school districts the territoryhas more than kept pace with demands, has easily met with accommodations an increase of more than2,000 in the year, that new schoolshave been opened and the corps ofinstructors increased, while thecourse of study is enlarged and improved. Agriculture, horticulture, fruitgrowing, irrigation, and the livestockIndustry are all treated' and in ike asplendid showing oi growth and progress; public highways are improved,the organization of the NationalGuard is completed, the railwaycommission and its work is described,and the most important work of Arizona, mining, is shown to have growntc a satisfactory extent, although itsactivity was to some extent limitedby low prices of metals.Births exceed deaths, despite thefact that many come to Arizona as ahealth resort, ana after their disease has progressed too far to bechecked or cured, the births numbering 3,008 and the deaths 3,049, thusshowing that the growth of Arizonais largely caused by immigration.The deaths from tuberculosis numbermore than Cut), and of these Maricopacounty furnishes more than half.The financial conditions of Arizonaare shown to be prosperous, her government economically conducted, andher banks to have grown in depositsand prospered. The territory islarger, richer, better and more fittedfor further progress in the presentfiscal year.Andrew Carnegie, whose benefactions amount now to 180 millionsof dollars, has just added a donationof ten millions of dollars for thepromotion of peace throughout theworld. The nations will continue tobuild battleships and levy armies, butit is impossible that a donation somunificent shall not have theinfluence of its inspiration. TheSe. -retar, f War has ju-t re Uroedii' m s trip around the world and hasslatted ConjrreM by a eOntidt ntialdocument sunt to the House of Representatives stating that this country, is unfit for war, lacking the rightkind of men, guns, ammunition andfortifications. This confidential report is said to be sensational in itsdetails. In view ot .Mr. Carnegie'sten million dollar douation to thev ause of peace, this i court from theSecretary of War i puliaiiv clashing. vlr Carnegie bravely continues histight against dying rich but the oddsare against him.Mr. Rockefeller's proposed foundation gift of more than $100,000,000 isag in before Congress which seemstobeapp. led at i ue immensity otHi. bend, lion- iid afraid II mayhave a flare back.The "disinrerested pr.tri'.ts" wholcombined tht-nisei ves with ihe Demo-crats are becoming- greater andgreater with each passing day.DISCREPANCY IN ARIZONANEW MEXICO BOUNDARY.The attention of the Era has beencalled to an evident discrepancy between the western boundary of NewMexico and the eastern boundary ofArizona as fixed by the constitution adopted by the constitutionalconventions of the respective territories. The constitution of New Mexicofixes the western boundary of thatterritory as the Thirty-Second Meridianof Longitude West from vVa-hiugton. The Washington Meridiai.is: 76 deg. 33 min. 66.7 sec. west olGreenwich and fixing the thirty-secondMeridian west from Washingtonas the western boundary of NewMexico gives the boundary as 108deg. 33 mm. 56.7 sec. W. Green wich.The eastern boundary of Arizonaas fixed by our constitutional convention is 109 deg. 02 min. 5-J.29 sec,leaving a gap of 0 deg. 29 min. 02..V.seconds.During ihe week the description olthe eastern boundary of Arizona, asfixed by our constitution, and thewestern boundary of New Mexico, asfixed by the New Mexico constitution, has been checked by a competent surveyor of this district, withthe above result. The difference inthe description between the twoboundary lines is computed to be agap approximately thirty miies wide,a strip of "No Man's Land, '' runningnorth and south between Arizona andNew Mexico. The attention of Delegate Cameron is called to the abovediscrepancies between the boundaries of the proposed new states.Arizona has fixed one Meridian as itseastern boundary, and New Mexicohas fixed another. If the printedI copies of the two constitutions arej correct, there is a discrepancy existing, which, as in the case of Texas! and New Mexico, will call for a legislative enactment to correct. An, other suggestion is made that thej strip be set apart as an abiding placefor the strenuous advocates of theI recall of the judiciaryRepresentative Hubson of Alabama,he who sank the old ship in the harbor entrance at Santiago has introduced a bill in Congress for the appointment of a Board of NationalDefense, the object of which is tosecure cooperation between the executive and legislative branches ofthe government with a view to harmooy in a defensive policy By theterms of the bill the War Secretaiyis to be president of the council, andthe other members the Secretary olthe Navy, the Chairman of the HouseMilitary and Naval Affairs, and alsothe Senate and House Finance Committees.
